Becerra weighed 118 for the bout and Halimi came in at 117 Vs. And in sportsmanlike fash ion the crowd accepted Or tiz' victory over the Mexi cans' other idol because the New Yorker clearly was the better man all the way, piling up a big margin on superior boxing and then ending it cleanly and decisively. In many respects the Becer-ra-Halimi fight was a repeat of their first meeting. Halimi was ahead on all cards when Becerra uncorked a pair, of trem'Yous lefts, the first to the body and the second to the jaw that sent the French man face down to the canvas for the full count. Halimi fought hard, perhaps harder and better than he did in their first meeting. He even had the champion down for a one count in the second round, al though Becerra thought he slipped. Prediction Comes True Ortiz had said before the fight that Torres was not ex perienced enough to beat him. He proved he was oh so right as he cleverly avoided the 18-year-old Mexican's bull -like rushes with all the cleverness of a matador working El Toro. And when he opened a cut over Torres' eye, Ortiz peppered it constantly with stinging jabs as he sidestepped his opponent to pileup a big point margin. Ortiz mixed with Torres, but only when he felt it was to his advan tage. "I want Joe Brown next," the 23-year-old New Yorker said after the fight, referring to his effort to get the light weight king into the ring. "I know I can stop Brown. I de serve the fight because I've beaten every good lightweight in the world."

Thus a pair of wins for the Raiders over EOC would put. them even or a single game be hind any victim of the PSC OTI clashes. SOC must cop both games this week end to stay in strong contention for the OCC crown and the NAIA playoff berth. The Mounties and SOC split in the opening round of OCC play at LaGrande. Raider coach Ted Schopf has indicated he will go with his usual lineup of Gordy Car rigan and Brad Flanary at the guards, Glen Peterson at cen ter, and John Payne will open at one forward and Don Van nice at the other. Three-Man Punch Eastern Oregon gels most of its scoring punch from center Pasco Arritola, forward Frank Chase and guard Mel Holmes. Arritola is the short est center in the conference at 6-3 but his jump shots from the base line and key make up for his lack of height. Chase shoots a variety of shots from most anywhere on the floor. Holmes holds a field house record at EOC for the 30 points he scored against Whitman, mostly on the fast break. New sparkplug to the Raid er attack has been reserve center Dick (Hughie) Smith who brings the crowd to the edge of their seats with his twisting drives and .weird shots. -Smith is a 6-3, 200 pound ex-football tackle who has really come into his own as a basketballer according to Raider coach Schopf. Dave Gardner and Tom Bernet are the forwards on the second unit. Guards are Dick Lillebo and Dick Puhl. Coach Jim McAbee'S Jay vees will tangle with the Rose burg town team tonight at 6:30 o'clock in the prelimi nary game and tomorrow will host Siskiyou college.

The suspect was the ninth man to be arrested since Wall and Patrolman Don McGlen sey donned woman's clothing and makeup to prowl the city's "trouble streets" a week ago. Walcott went into the ac tion after hearing a gun shot while he was driving to his home. Walcott sped in the di rection of the blast and saw a "young blonde" with a pis tol and a car fleeing the scene. After Wall explained the situation, he and the for mer champion gave chase in Walcott's auto. They nabbed the suspect at a traffic light nearby.
